Dave Keegan & Simon Snaize perform the song "Venus In Transit" from their new album "Portmanteau" in a small cottage deep in the North Yorkshire countryside.
This is a version of the song stripped down to two acoustic guitars and vocals...the original recording features creaky old drum machine loops, big fat vintage synths and a Pacific Island-inspired chorus harmony...
Venus In Transit was written during an unexpectedly long stay on an island in the South Pacific - after becoming fascinated with tribal rhythms and Polynesian harmonies, we travelled around collecting stories, poems and old synthesizers and wove them into our own song.
A tale of lost love, unfulfilled promises and heavenly bodies, "Venus" is a band favourite and features beautiful harmonies from Hayley Hutchinson.
